Yvon Rene Corriveau (born February 8, 1967 in Welland , Ontario ) is a retired Canadian ice hockey player . During his career he played for the Washington Capitals , Hartford Whalers and San Jose Sharks in the National Hockey League and the Eisbären Berlin and Berlin Capitals in the German Ice Hockey League .

Career

Corriveau began the 1984/85 season with the Toronto Marlboros in the Canadian Junior League Ontario Hockey League . After his rookie season he was selected in the first round of the 1985 NHL Entry Draft by the Washington Capitals in 19th overall position. While he continued to run for the Marlboros in the OHL in the following two seasons, he came to a total of 19 NHL missions for the Capitals, before they finally integrated him into the professional squad for the 1987/88 season .

In the following three seasons between 1987 and 1990, the Canadian stayed equally in the NHL squad and in the squad of the farm team in the American Hockey League , before he was given in March 1990 for goalkeeper Mike Liut to the Hartford Whalers, with their farm team he won the Calder Cup , the championship of the AHL, at the end of the 1990/91 season . After Corriveau received no regular place in the NHL squad there either, he was given back to the Washington Capitals in the summer of 1992 to complete a previous transfer deal. But since the Capitals no longer had any use for the left winger , the San Jose Sharks selected him in the Waiver Draft . After only 20 games in the NHL for the Sharks they sent him back to Hartford, where Corriveau was rarely used. By the end of the game year 1996/97 in which he with the Detroit Vipers of the Turner Cup , the championship of the International Hockey League won, he ran with the exception of season 1993/94 only in the minor leagues on.

Therefore, Corriveau moved to Europe in the summer of 1997 and signed a contract with the Eisbären Berlin in the German Ice Hockey League. After initially three years with the polar bears, he went to local rivals, the Berlin Capitals, for the 2000/01 season . However, when this was revoked before the 2002/03 season, the game license, Corriveau returned to the polar bears, where he played another two years. In the 2004/05 season he ran in his last year as a professional for the now in the Oberliga and renamed BSchC Prussia .

Rape charge

Before the 2003/04 season Corriveau was with the Eisbären Berlin team in Sweden in preparation for the upcoming season. There he and his teammate Brad Bergen were reported to have been raped by a 20-year-old Swede on August 23 . Although both protested their innocence, she was for 18 days remand taken. After the allegations were proven false, Bergen and Corriveau were released from custody on September 10 and the investigation was terminated.
